Diwali Special- 5 Tips For Diwali Traveling

India is an extremely beautiful place to be in during any major festival. Diwali is around the corner and it is one festival which turns the country into a land straight out of a fairy tale. Houses in cities are decorated and lit up with lanterns, strings of light and diyas. Meanwhile, the way Diwali is celebrated in certain rural areas is downright spectacular!

It’s the perfect time to go on vacation. Most people in India know this and plan their travel months in advance. However, when everyone is booking their vacation at the same time, planning your travel can get quite stressful. Don’t let that get in the way of enjoying the festival.

# Choose Place Wisely

You could either go to one of those quieter places for your Diwali trip where the celebrations are quainter, like Purushwadi in Maharashtra, where bonfires and oil lamps are lit and traditional songs are sung. Or you could join the breath-taking celebrations that take place in Varanasi, Jaipur, Udaipur or Amritsar.

# Think About All Members

Your wife may want romance and relaxation, while your kids may want adventure. Trying to incorporate all their wants could make your Diwali trip hectic; while not taking them into consideration could result in a damp cloth on your enthusiasm. Sit together and come to a collective conclusion.

# Research travel cost

Before you set out on your Diwali trip, check the cost of travel, accommodation and food in places where you’re planning to go. Accordingly, set your budget, but make sure that it is well above what you require, to be on the safe side.

# Keep a flexible itinerary

Make sure you’re not trying to fit twenty things into ten days. Covering your entire wishlist on one trip can make it more of a task than enjoyment. Remember, unplanned events can account for a lot of your vacation time. You don’t want a delayed flight or a missed bus or an unwell family member to dampen your spirits.

# Avoid carrying valuables

It’s Diwali and you might want to look your finest, but don’t wear your gold in an unknown place amidst unknown people. Try not to flash that watch, that new pair of aviators or take too many pictures with that expensive camera. Festivals are a time of crowds and thieves use it to get some extra bucks by preying on the flashy ones.
